Ep 139 | Rob Brazill: Chasing the sun as he hunts pro dream in South Africa

On this week's 'lighthearted' edition of the podcast we revel in Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry's Zurich Classic win and discuss how an event that didn't seem too serious was actually a huge win for Shane and his future on the PGA Tour. It was another good week for the other Irish on tour while a new iGolf scheme is set to take Irish golf by storm

On a special edition of the podcast. Ronan sits down with Rob Brazill who has turned professional for this week's Sunshine Tour Qualifying School as he chases his dreams. The Naas man feels like he has been given a second chance at golf and will be taking nothing for granted.

This week on the eve of the 2024 Masters Peter dials in from the Press centre at Augusta National and we are also joined by special guest Gary Murphy, a former European Tour pro and Augusta State University student to discuss all things Masters. Is this to be Rory McIlroy's year? Does Shane Lowry have all the tools to be Ireland's first Green Jacket winner? Is the weather going to wreak havoc on day one? Could we see a debutant top the leaderboard for the first time since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979. Is Jon Rahm the most under-the-radar defending champion in years? And who do we have our money on as the 'tradition unlike any other' gets underway?

In a special edition of the podcast, we chat to Stuart Grehan on the continuous battle to play professional golf. Grehan’s playing career is on a year by year basis but a couple of pre season wins in Spain have him full of confidence.

On this week's podcast, the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill takes top billing as we recap another excellent week for Shane Lowry, what Scottie Scheffler's rekindled putting touch could mean for the rest of the field, Seamus Power's steady progression, and just exactly what's gone wrong for Rory McIlroy. We also delve into another fine performance from Tom McKibbin on the DP World Tour, the renaissance of Italian sensation Matteo Manassero, an underwhelming LIV event in Hong Kong, how Stephanie Meadow brushed off the cobwebs to top-10 on the LPGA in China, and detail the continued Irish success on amateur circuits all over the world.
